<p>So that's a compliment, then.</p>
<p>'It is not known if the Greefs use benefits.' is possibly the best line. Brilliant.

<p>Rowcob in Cheshire has enjoyed the bunting services of council employee Ted Greeth for many years.</p>
<p>And now he's unwell - certainly too unwell to do his job.</p>
<p>Mr Greef, it is believed, has malaria, it is thought.</p>
<p>But who'll put up the bunting, many have asked.</p>
<p>According to Cheshire Council, it's not sure, as the skills-based vocation is not for anyone.</p>
<p>But some fun remains. "Perhaps someone will come forward," Councillor Ian Bellende laughed in a text message between us.</p>
<p>But serious notes abound. The council's reactor core needs to be dressed (in bunting) ready for its sixth birthday celebrations - which also coincide on the same day with the Mayor's annual address.</p>
<p>The council has laughed off suggestions that its nuclear programme will be used for weapons.</p>
<p>But anyway, Mr Greeth's widow Mary suggested that the bunter might be back on his feet not before long.</p>
<p>Though he is poorly, she admitted, he has still been active around the house and not "lazing around like many on benefits".</p>
<p>It is not known if the Greefs use benefits.</p>
<p>But the council is yet to comment. In a press release, the council said: "Mr Greef's ailment saddens us all. We wish him all the best and hope he'll make a speedy recovery. Get better soon, Alan."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the question remains in this dark northern town: when will the job get done, and by whom?
